Permanent Residency allows you to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada indefinitely, but you remain a citizen of another country. Citizenship, on the other hand, gives you full rights as a Canadian — including the right to vote, obtain a Canadian passport, and never worry about losing your status. At NextStep Immigration, we help you understand both options and guide you through the transition from PR to citizenship when you’re eligible.
You must have been physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) out of the last 5 years before applying for citizenship. You also need to meet income tax filing, language, and knowledge test requirements. Our experts help calculate your exact residency days and review your records to ensure you meet all conditions before submitting your application.
If your PR card expires while you’re abroad, you’ll need a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to return to Canada. Our team assists you in preparing the necessary forms, proof of residency, and supporting documents to obtain this document quickly. Once you’re back in Canada, we also help you apply for your PR card renewal to prevent future travel issues.
